WOMEN'S ACTIVITIES 

Women’s Dinner - To be determined.
 

Women’s Bible Study - To be determined.   

Come and join us for the Women’s Bible Study. We will be discussing Chapter 12 from the book entitled, Finding Rest in a Busy World, by Margaret Feinberg.  Susan Wolfe facilitates the discussion.  This will be our last study until the fall.

WHEN WILL WE RETURN TO OUR REGULAR SCHEDULE? 

After watching the rise of COVID-19 cases in Franklin County and Ohio the last week and a half, council has decided that it would not be safe or wise to resume in-person worship services at this time.  We will continue to watch the number of new cases closely and let you know when we are able to safely resume in-person worship services.  Our weekly online services will continue.

GIVE TO FELLOWSHIP WITH YOUR SMARTPHONE WITH GIVEPLUS+ 

Our EFT provider, Vanco, provides a smartphone app, Give+, to enable anyone to donate at anytime to Fellowship. It makes it easy to give instantaneously for a regular gift, a recurring gift, or a special occasion gift. 

BLESSING BOX

We now have a blessing box on our property, thanks to HelpColumbus, a group that supports individuals and families recently impacted by the events of COVID-19.  A blessing box houses non-perishable items like food, baby supplies, etc.  If you or someone you know are in need of these items, feel free to stop by the church.  You may also place donations in the blessing box.

SAVE THE DATE! 

We are planning to have our annual outdoor service on Sunday, August 9th at 10:00 a.m. at Murphy Park in Powell.  We will also have a streamed worship service available for that weekend for those unable to attend.  Please respond to the recent email and let us know if you will be attending and how many box lunches your family needs.  Please bring your own chairs.

JOIN US FOR FELLOWSHIP TIME ON ZOOM ON SUNDAY, AUGUST 16TH AT 11:00 A.M.!

WORSHIP SERVERS NEEDED

If you are able to help out at our 10:00 a.m. worship service when we resume in-person worship, please let either Tracy Farel or Pastor Robin know.

DO YOU ORDER FROM AMAZON?

If so, then try Amazon Smile to support Fellowship Lutheran Church! First, go to Amazon Smile and choose Fellowship Lutheran Church Columbus, OH as your charity. Then, shop as usual and Fellowship will receive a percentage of your purchase. It’s that easy! 

KROGER PLUS COMMUNITY AWARDS

If you would like to register your Kroger card for the Community Rewards Program, please contact Pastor Robin or the church office. 

IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE A HOME VISIT BY PASTOR ROBIN

Please let Pastor Robin or Tracy know so we can get one scheduled.  It does not need to be a pastoral emergency...just an opportunity to get to know you better. 

WHEN LEAVING THE CHURCH

Please be sure to lock the doors, turn the coffee pot off, and turn off the lights when you leave the church! Thanks!
